fan suggestions for the antec sx1030

[DoOLiE11]

i just recently got my antec sx1030 anyone have any suggestions on what fans i should use?

and where i should get them?

That kind of depends on your goal....max cooling, or quiet. I just purchased 4 Panaflo H1A's for my SX1030. Once I put them on a baybus I will be able to put them at reduced voltage for quietness, or on full 12V for max cooling. The H1A's in my opinion are a good choice especially if used with a baybus. At 12V they move 39 CFM and at 7V they should be as quiet as an L1A, which is pretty damn quiet....I know I have 4 in my case right now. The biggest disadvantage to any Panaflo fan is that they come without connectors by default. But TeamAwe sells them with connectors for a pretty reasonable price. Of course if you want quite the L1A is a good choise, which is also available at TeamAwe.

i've outfitted sx1030s w/ panaflos before and they're just my favorite fans by far. usually i have 92mm or 120mm fans running at 7v as well, makes them completely inaudiable which is one of my primary concerns.

I have 4 Sunon Hi Power 80mm on mine, the standard duel front intake and dual rear exhaust. Anyway, it's LOUD, so I have an SPST Fanbus to control the fannoice, usually I only have them on half mode (only one exhaust and one intake), that quiet it quiet a bit, but in this cold winter, I usually just run it w/ all fans turned off, your cpu shouldn't overheat.

Strap hagbard on the front. However, I'm not sure the airflow would be enough to overcome it's high temperature...

Oh that's a good one.....

I left the two Antec exhaust fans in place and added 2 Sunon high-output 80mm intake fans. I also added a slot cooler under my GeForce2 and a drive cooler. . . . my mobo temp is 3F over room temp @ 100% CPU utilization for 8+ hours

Dantzig how loud is it? I bought two more antec fans after I got my SX1030, sucker was way too loud, so now I have the front two fans disabled... thinking of grabbing the Panaflos.

I have 4 LA1's in mine. It keeps my temps at 0-2 deg F of the outside case temp. I think my Enermax PS helps tho.

Where do I buy the Panaflos fans, and are they the best quite fans for my antec soho tower????

i have the 2 fans that came with it, then just ordered 2 more of the same fan. 1 from amazon and one from buy.com. Hard to notice how loud it is when you have the headphones on playing counterstrike.....

I have 4 sunons and its loud, but once I get my baybus and am able to turn them off its should be ok. So you should consider getting a baybus, I am waiting for the digital baybus from caseetc to come out, but I don't know if I can wait that long. Need baybus... can't sleep with computer on... need sleep...

I have 4 Enermax thermal control fans. Quiet as a whisper. These are the ones that have a built in temp reader and adjusts the rpm accordingly.
